I've always wanted to try West African food, and this was a good recommendation by my friend from…read moreNigeria. The food we sampled was all great. I had the Combo 2 consisting of beef & chicken suya with jolof rice. The price was a little pricy at over $20, but I would say it was well worth it. There were a lot of food portions in the order that I was able to take some of the food to-go for eating later at home. The taste of suya was not too much different from other grilled food; however, suya still has its own distinct character. The combination of the grilled meat with the salad or coleslaw with the plantain and jolof rice was exquisite. The spice mix use was also just a little different to make suya distinct. My friend had all praises for his order of the suya wrap. The food item was very filling with generous portions of protein included in it. My only complaint was their transition into the new menu pricing and with their online order was not very smooth at all. They had a card with a QR code that should direct you to the online site for ordering, but the code was not quick to register. There was also no place on the online site to enter the discount code to get 10% off your order. The operators should have been better trained and familiar with the whole online order process and the expected interface that customers will run into.

My husband and I got takeout from here and overall we enjoyed it, but I found the wrap too greasy…read morefor my tastes. Safari Secrets serves East African cuisine. We got takeout. I got the Steak and Pepper ($12.95), which was steak, stir-fried with bell peppers, tomatoes and onions, served over rice, with a side salad and mango juice. My husband got the Beef Chapati Wrap ($7.99) which came with a mango juice too. My steak was so well seasoned. It had a slight spicy kick to it, which I enjoyed. The rice was soft and fluffy. The salad was basic with just iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and onions, but ingredients were fresh. My meal came with ranch dressing for the salad and a green citrusy hot sauce which I loved. It was a bit sour, but spicy and was really unique tasting to me. The mango juice was sweet and a bit thick, which I liked. I had a taste of my husband's wrap and it was ok. The chapati was too greasy for me. The wrap had steak, lettuce, tomatoes and a white sauce. I definitely enjoyed what I ordered better, lol. Also, I noticed they pressed the wrap in a way that one side had all the vegetables and the other side had the all meat. Had they pressed it the other way, each bite would have had both meat and vegetables, which I feel would have been better. Service was quick and courteous. Our food was ready in 10 minutes. It's in a strip mall, next to a Giant Tiger store. Lots of free parking.

It was boneless tender meat: the most tender goat I've ever had. It was very tasty with a great seared flavour. The rice was moist & flavourful. It was a huge portion, with a lot of both meat & rice. The food was flavourful enough to not need either sauce. The green sauce was super spicy. The brown sauce was decent. The side salad with the main was ok: garden salad with ranch. The mango juice was really nectar. It was ok. It was included in all mains, so that was a nice bonus. Milk cake was like tres leches: a sponge cake base with a few form of sweet milk added. It was excellent.

We…read moreordered the Party Jallof Rice and Egusi & Fufu to share, which are some of the most popular dishes of theirs. The Party Jallof was delicious, with a nice smokiness to the rice and the chicken seasoned spectacularly. I'm typically not the biggest fan of plaintains, but the plaintains that came with the rice were crispy and savoury. It was my first time trying fufu & egusi, and for the most part it was exactly what I expected! The stew was tasty, and the fufu had such a unique and lovely texture. Similar to Ethiopian food where you use the injera to pick up the meat/veggie stews, you use the fufu to scoop up the egusi. However, since fish bones are used in the stock, I found several fish bones in my dish that ruined the experience of it. It is a little on the pricier side with these dishes at $26+. The portion of rice could have been bigger, but tastewise everything was great. I would definitely come back to try other dishes and to have their jallof again!

Pretenders never get anywhere so I admitted knowing nothing and Sunshine showed us not only what the food was but he would make the comparison to Chinese cuisine. He allowed us to sample the rice, one that was red with tomato paste and chicken cooking juice, indicative of Peruvian food. Another rice he called like chinese rice, tasting it, it was cleaner with a touch of spice (better than chinese fried rice in my opinion). We also had a tour of the stews. The food was reasonable for the novice and affordable for food court food. The chicken and turkey was a touch dry, but that's a common struggle for all restaurants. Food was not over salted. Thank you Sunshine for the food tour.
